Coach Kyle Shanahan said Garcon needs a knee scope. The 32-year-old has played eight games each of his first two seasons in San Francisco and has become extremely injury-prone after not missing a game his last four years with the Redskins. Garcon very well may have played his final down for the Niners. In 16 games with the team, he has 64 grabs for 786 yards and one touchdown. Dante Pettis and Marquise Goodwin will be the starters the rest of the way. Mon, Dec 10, 2018 07:06:00 PM

Pierre Garcon (knee) is out for Week 14 against the Broncos.

The Niners will start Marquise Goodwin, Dante Pettis, and Kendrick Bourne in three-wide sets. Rookie Jeff Wilson will also start in place of Matt Breida (ankle, out). Although Goodwin will be back on the field for the first time since Week 10, Pettis remains a high-floor option given his peppering of shallow targets over the middle of the field. He's a safe WR3, whereas Goodwin remains a boom-or-bust option. Fri, Dec 7, 2018 04:14:00 PM

It's shaping up to be another week for rookie Dante Pettis to continue his torrential production. Even with Marquise Goodwin (personal) likely back, Pettis should continue working as San Francisco's primary No. 2 against Denver's injury-riddled secondary. Pettis has averaged seven targets and 4.5/103/1.5 receiving the past two weeks and will remain a high-floor WR3 in Week 14. Fri, Dec 7, 2018 03:16:00 PM

"I’m hoping he’ll get into OTAs and do some non-contact stuff," Shanahan said. "It’s always a little bit better when you’re dealing with a quarterback as opposed to other positions because you can get them in 7-on-7 drills, which helps those guys get involved a lot faster." Garoppolo tore his ACL in Week 3. He'll be eight months removed from surgery for the start of OTAs. The 49ers will move Garoppolo slowly, but barring setbacks, he should have a chance at getting in some limited offseason reps.

"Matt stepped in right away and played like a No. 1 back," coach Kyle Shanahan said Monday. "Had ton of explosiveness. Got hurt early on and battled every week to play for us." Breida first injured his ankle in Week 5, and it has been a constant issue ever since. Remarkably, the finale will be only the second game he misses all year. Breida also managed to average a robust 5.32 yards per carry in Shanahan's running back-friendly system. Going on 24, Breida will be in the 49ers' 2019 backfield mix. The question is who will join him and Jerick McKinnon.

A sprained MCL is ultimately good news. Injuries were not an issue for Pettis at the University of Washington — he appeared in 13 games four-straight years — but he dealt with knee woes for much of his rookie season. Nevertheless, he averaged a robust 17.3 yards per grab while stacking yards and receptions down the stretch. Someone coach Kyle Shanahan clearly believes in after trading up for him in last spring's draft, Pettis could have a big 2019 role. He's an exciting Dynasty league hold.

49ers LG Laken Tomlinson suffered a torn MCL in the Week 17 loss to the Rams and will be sidelined three months.

Tomlinson's ACL is in tact, so that's the good news. The former Lions first-rounder should be good by the time OTAs and minicamp roll around and 100% well in advance of training camp. Tomlinson took over the starting job in Week 2 and signed a three-year extension through 2021 back in June.
